Do you refer to all sports drinks as Gatorade?

I know that some people in the South have a tendency to refer to most carbonated soft drinks/sodas/colas as 'Coke' (not dealing specifically with Coca-Cola).
Now, it seems lately that more and more people I've met, usually individuals 30 and older, refer to any sports drink as a Gatorade.
For example, "Hey, I'm going to grab a Gatorade." However, in many of these instances the beverage in question is a Powerade.
Do you generalize all sports drinks as Gatorade or Powerade?

Maybe they should take the Xerox route.

No, I'm an adult. And it's soda, not coke.

I used to, but now I call them all "sports drinks".
They're in the Frigidaire at my house, Mrs. Füt usually has one after she Hoovers.

You are not an adult if you didn't include pop in your post, if you travel around the country you will find it's different based on where you live.

It used to bother me when somebody said they were getting a Pop. Now I could care less what people say because it doesn't really matter.

Yes. The only one they had when I was growing up.

It's amazing how many people get caught and called out on this.

Lived in the south my whole life. I have heard people refer to Pepsi and RC Cola as Coke, but never heard Sprite, 7up, etc... referred to as Coke.
Never heard anyone call every sports drink Gatorade

Since the only time I really have Powerade is when it's free, I typically just say Gatorade because that is all I buy and drink.

I use the term beer.
